Glad to be a part of the May 2008 banders. I was banded in Chattanooga TN last Thursday, May 29. As of this morning, I have lost 8 pounds since surgery.

I'm excited about finally starting to feel better and getting to use the band to it's full potential. I've got a long road ahead, but I am glad to finally get started!

Thanks ladies!! :cursing:

The only bad thing is - my surgeon said that since I am doing so well, I may not need a fill on the 3rd of July...she said, we'll see. BUT she may be right, I do still have a good amount of restriction from being filled during surgery. I just hope I continue on this pace and I do want to start exercising!

Good luck to everyone else..I hope we continue to do really well!

:smile: Anyone having trouble with obsessively weighing yourself! The weight bouncing back and forth between 3 pounds is starting to mess with my head. Logically I know this is normal, however, it affects my attitude. I have gone 3 days without weighing. I am going to try and only weigh once a week ( or no more than 2 or 3 or 4 times, haha!)

Yes, Miss Mellis, I feel the same way. :tt1: I should be happy that in less than a month I have lost 18lbs... I want more!! :angry:. I have been being very hard on myself because the scale hasn't moved in about a week. It is probably my body adjusting to my new weight. Once a week sounds like a good plan!!:lol:

I went for my first fill today and I told the doctor that I wasn't eating very much at all. But when he looked on the floroscope, I was completely open.

So, he started off with 4 ccs (his usual first fill) but when I drank the barium nothing went through and boy did my chest hurt from the reflux. So, he first took our 1cc, then another. So, I got 2 total. And boy, do I feel the restriction. I can barely get down my Protein drink. Supposedly, it will loosen just a bit in a couple of days......that's why liquids for 2 days and then mushies for two days after the fill.

He told me to make an appointment to see him in 4 weeks, but no fill appointment as he thinks I may not need another at this point.

He was thrilled with my weight loss, and I have to fix my siggy to show another lost pound +.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
